I recently started taking Yeast/Fungal Detox. I now have a rip-roaring yeast infection. Is it possible that the Yeast/Fungal Detox is contributing to the infection? I went for years without one; now I have had 3 in the last 4 months. I have started to detox my body so I am assuming the recurrent yeast infections are tied to that somehow. (I am upsetting up an environment which has been toxic for years.)

Also is it possible to get a yeast infection from swimming in a swimming pool? (Not hot tub, which has caused yeast infections for me in the past)

Hi Ruthie,
You always have the fungal organism in your body. The key is to keep it in balance with GOOD bacteria and conditions. More than likely, what you did was to stir up the overgrowth of candida in your body without getting rid of it.

You need to do more than take one product. You need to supply good bacteria (Probiotics) and follow a candida diet while you are detoxing. You don't want to be ingesting food products that will feed the fungus.

You may also want to take other products besides the Yeast/Fungal Detox. (Drink Pau D Arco Tea, etc)

ALSO, I do not like someone to do a cleanse (Candida, liver, etc) without bowel cleansing products. (At the very least Psyllium bulk and LBS II) . . . You must have your bowels free enough and be taking enough soluble fiber to carry the stirred up fungal spores out of your body. It sure wouldn't hurt any to be doing garlic/tea tree oil enemas while killing off the candida. If you 'Detox' and it doesn't leave the body -- it will give you strong symptoms and possibly make you feel flu like.
